Water level information

May 5, 2017 -

The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority is responsible for monitoring and issuing updates on water levels in the Kingston area. If you are looking for updates, please go to its website and scroll down to find the "Current Flood Status" and associated information.

Kingston Fire & Rescue/Emergency Management

Due to the significant rainfall currently occurring and forecasted to continue over the weekend, Kingston Fire & Rescue (KFR) is monitoring the rainfall and issues relating to community risk to life or property. KFR is receiving situational updates from the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA), the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre through the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, (OFMEM), the City's Public Works department and Utilities Kingston.

While widespread flooding for the Kingston area is not anticipated, we do expect some localized flooding as a result in some of the low lying areas. Kingston Fire & Rescue has not been experiencing an elevated demand for service related to any excess rainfall at this point.
